[Taricus]

Ooohhh. MORE VILLANS PLEASE!

Also, anyone want to take bet on how long it'll take to find Nathaniel's novel?

[Draignean]

Tarran Smith

"Shit! Effing blue shit! Urgh, disgusting."

Pull out me Jormungandr and keep an eye out for further hostiles while following Taric.

You grumble impotently and wait for the rest to get down with their ineffective shenanigans before following Taric, who decided that this would be a nice time for a jog.

---

Trol Grane

"SQUEEEEEEE!!!" wipe it off,and get the fuck outta there

You make the first audible sound since switching bodies, you think it may have alerted the others that all is not well with your head. [Luck 4] You manage to wipe some of it off but the stuff is hideously sticky, you manage not to worsen your situation though.

---

Dominique Wakeman

Dom held her breath and closed her eyes, not wanting to get that strange blue stuff in her mouth or eyes. She then flung herself to the ground and log rolled, hoping to wipe the spores off on the grass. Dammit... strange alien shit... If that didn't work she would just have to apply a small amount of pyrokinesis to the air around her and hope to burn it off. Hopefully she could do that on the move. She got up after a few moments. "We should probably get going, guys, before more weird-ass things show up." I'm always covered in gunk these days, she thought. Hopefully it'll wash out.

You roll on the ground, the lack of anything resembling grass means you get a lot of very rich earth on you. [Intuition 5] You suddenly have a brainwave and scoop more earth on yourself, this stuff isn't burning, and it isn't coming off, so you might as well cover it up.

Mite spores now covered in earth

James Evan

"Oh god this is disgusting. Doesn't seem good." James frantically clawed off the goo.

You attempt to remove the goo, [Luck 2] you fail miserable and only serve to smear it more deeply into your clothing and armor. You follow the rest, now thoroughly coated in the strange grime.

---

Taric Sizier

Psionically acivate a gas mask. brush off the spores. Continue moving.

You try to make a gas-mask out of psionic energy, [Active Kinetics 4+1] it works well enough though it inhibits your breathing some. (-2 stamina) It's really a variation an a shield except with a lot of really tiny holes. After watching Teague and Jame's complete lack of success in getting the spores off you decide not to try and brush the spores off though and you jog off the forest.

---

All: Second by second the feeling of being watched intensifies, and then you notice something strange. Maybe a hundred feet out something like black static is moving over the glowing fungus, it grows until it completely covers the faint light. Then it starts with a fungus nearer, looking about you realize that it's happening all around you. The light is fading, [Intuition 4] and you're getting a very bad feeling.

[Taricus]

"Stay in formation, Big ugly coming!" Anticipate the arrival of the threat. And copy Dom's idea.

[Powder Miner]

"OH GOD!" Roll in ground away as fast as possible, having seen Dom's success in getting it of in the ground.

[Tarran]

"Oh shit... Cover! Everyone find some cover!"

Take cover behind something! Roll in dirt to try and cover up the spores, too.

[Taricus]

Cover never works in melee...

[Tarran]

Unless the enemy is a big mother, then cover is one or more blows you aren't taking, which when fighting a big enemy is pretty damn important.

[Taricus]

I think actually being able to dodge the damned thing may be a bit better in CQC.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Dom raised the Fuath as James, Tarran, and Taric hit the dirt. Maybe it'll work in a more open area like this... she thought. She closed her eyes and attempted to reach out with her kinetics, to feel the movement around her like she attempted on the tower. If she felt where the threat was coming from she would let everyone else know.

[Zako]

Ooooh, if I can be a villan later on, that would be FANTASTIC! I would be a GREAT and brutal villan if you let me. 

[Draignean]

Since Tarran is all CO and junk I've been toying around with the idea of giving him a couple of exceptional abilities that refresh each chapter just so I can shake things up and grind you guys down a little harder.

Spoiler: Command Abilities (click to show/hide)

Command points are refreshed chapter to chapter, additional ones my be awarded for the spectacular completion of a mission. The amount of Command points you get per chapter varies with your rank, whether Unchained, Technocracy, Independent, whatever. The higher your rank the more points you get.

Tier 1: Squad Captain/similar (1 point) -You are here-
Tier 2: Lieutenant/similar (3 Points)
Tier 3: Full Captain/similar (5 points)
Tier 4: Major/similar (7 points)
Tier 5: Colonel/similar (10 Points)
Tier 6: Patriarch/similar (15 points)

The abilities themselves are,

Resilience: Save a person from dying (1 point + Number of times used)
---
Command: Give an order to a neutral unit (1 point + number of times used)
---
Defiance: Re-roll one failed roll. (2 points*number of times used)
---
Blaze of glory: Get bonus to all rolls equal to 1/10 of the last damage taken for a turn. (3 Points + number of times used)
---
Charge: allied units gain +1 initiative and +1 to hit for a turn (3 + number of times used)
---
Hold the Line: allied damage taken halved for one round. (4 + number of times used)
---
Make it count: +4 to one roll (5*number of times used)
---
Contingency: Re-roll an entire turn (5*number of times used)
---
Finest Hour: Allied rolls +1, enemy rolls -1, enemy damage taken doubled, damage dealt halved (10 points)


These can be combined, for instance a Major or Arbiter could use Defiance in conjunction with Make it count for a nearly guaranteed success.

Ooooh, if I can be a villan later on, that would be FANTASTIC! I would be a GREAT and brutal villan if you let me. 

Yeah, I have an open villain slot, so PM me your stuff when you're ready.

[Tarran]

Oooh, moar powerz for my friendly firez. Yummy.

I'll be sure to have Serious send a ship-destroying shockwave towards you and give her the +4 bonus when we see you.

[Zako]

Can you PM me a template for character creation of a villan?

And I'll make sure to mentally cripple your pilot first. Just for kicks.

[Draignean]

Oooh, moar powerz for my friendly firez. Yummy.

I'll be sure to have Serious send a ship-destroying shockwave towards you and give her the +4 bonus when we see you.

Most of these will apply to enemy command units as well.

Can you PM me a template for character creation of a villan?

First page, third post.

Ooh, I saw my name! This is gonna be good.
